CIRCULO ROTO
Delfin Lev is a creative producer, researcher, and filmmaker from Istanbul, based in Amsterdam since 2021.

Círculo Roto is a quarterly film night highlighting works by independent makers. It is a
collaboration between programmers Delfin Lev and Sebastián Vásquez Cipriani, and graphic
designer Kenneth Geurts. Created as a remedy to the rigid calendar of festival submissions,
Círculo Roto -literally "broken circle" in Spanish- offers a platform for filmmakers to share
their work on a rolling basis.
Hosted by Lab111, each edition builds around an open ended, evocative theme and brings together a new selection of makers.

03 GLASS, CONCRETE AND STONE
This edition brings together short films in which space and setting become active narrative agents.
Glass, Concrete and Stone borrows its title from the David Byrne song to probe the dissonance between architecture as physical fact and as emotional territory - the difference between a house and a home.
To extract a narrative from a space is impossible without implicating the space itself. This program comprises short films which shift the focus toward the textures of built environments, those that shape, absorb, and refract our experiences, ultimately arriving at the drama of reframing the chamber:
Works that let architecture remember, speak, and rupture.

02 THE FICTION OF FICTION IS REALITY
In a time of decentralized truths, the filmmaker’s role as a storyteller becomes ever more critical, and the realm of documentary ever more interesting. Even on a quest for absolutes, we find ourselves playing make-believe, and drawing our own bridges over the narrative gaps.
The Fiction of Fiction is Reality invites an investigation of the margin between fact and fiction, and opens space for considering the power of compelling fictions to illuminate deeper truths.

01 FALLING FAST AND FALLING ASLEEP
In Falling Fast & Falling Asleep, we sink into the depths of the subconscious, where we must face what we have forgotten and what we keep trying to forget, wounds left open in the darkness of the mind. From the many restorative qualities of our sleep, the act of dreaming, the theatres we entertain while our eyes rest, can illuminate aspects of our waking life that are in need of attention, and thus facilitate healing. Each with their own authorial mark and proposing different conceptions of the dream-state, these films in this program forge a path through the uncertainties of the human mind, calling for a revelation, an awakening.
